Heavy flavour in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC: a Langevin approach

A. Beraudo, A. De Pace, M. Monteno +4

A snapshot of the results for heavy-flavour observables in heavy-ion (AA) collisions at RHIC and LHC obtained with our transport calculations is displayed. The initial charm and be…
